Until now.<\/p>\n

Read it and weep (for my lack of a life outside the pages):<\/p>\n

    What’s odd is how sometimes you can remember what you were doing when you were reading the books. The first of the books I read while painting my new office space and preparing for the transition to newborn fatherhood. Later, I read a stack of books rather quickly in the waiting room outside an ICU.<\/p>\n

    Also, I remember something of most the books I read, but the compilations are harder.<\/p>\n

    So what did you read last year?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
